Thought Of The Day

Leave a comment

Ruth Bader Ginsburg and Freddie Mercury are icons who in their own way have sought to make the world a better place. Without Ginsburg’s legal prowess or Mercury’s ability to rule the stage our lives wouldn’t be the same. They were in a way agents of radical social change which has opened doors for people who want to live their lives in abundance.

It’s important to note that we need people like these two to be the super hero of our times. It is my opinion that the world is changed by people who want to knock down doors and inspire people to be heroes of their own day. Everyone reading this post can be a hero and to offer support and love to those in need.

Now change doesn’t happen with a lot of hard work and overcoming obstacles. You have to be persistent and ready to take on the challenges of the times. Do what you gotta do to be the person of the moment who can make a better future for everyone.

Rogue One, A Star Wars Story – My Take

4 Comments

I saw the latest Star Wars movie last night and enjoyed it. Without giving anything away Rogue One does a great job of setting some things up for the original movies. You get some further back story into the struggle between the rebellion and the empire. New characters and some familiar favorites take you along this journey.

What is important to know is that this movie shows us new places in this universe so you get a feel for how big the world of Star Wars really is. The empire is a vast operation in a lot of locations. You can understand why it’s the rebel alliance has to fight harder and smarter. Heroes are made in the moment and you see that in this story. Felicity Jones has a wonderful performance as the central character in this story.

The movie starts off a bit slow but perhaps that is the point. It wants to show you a lot so you have to pay attention. I fully recommend you see it on the big screen. You won’t be disappointed.

May The Force be with you.

The Color Of A Hero

15 Comments

I don’t understand why it’s always a pretty white gal and guy who are in the movie to save the day? To me it seems like diversity is a strength and there are many capable actors and actresses of color who can be the super hero. It really doesn’t send a good message when its all about the brave and the beautiful. Can the brave be average looking? Is there a rule that the hero has to be a hunk or the heroine supposed to be hot? Also do the heroes have to be always slender, like they might need to eat a sandwich or something.

I really don’t mean to be judgemental like I mentioned in my previous post but this is a real world problem that spills out into the cinema and on TV. We could say it’s the writers who make this happen but just think if Harry Potter was of Asian heritage or if Katniss Everdeen were African American. Maybe there needs to be a change in how the world is looked at. Heroes come in all packages and shapes and colors. It’s kind of how we were made. Just saying.
